Duncan Macmillan’s groundbreaking play People, Places and Things about addiction and recovery returned to London’s West End this year.
The play follows Emma, a struggling actor battling drug and alcohol addiction. Emma checks herself into a rehabilitation centre. At first she’s hostile to the programme and completely resistant to its culture of sharing and honesty, but gradually she gives herself over to it.
Before this current run ended at the Trafalgar Theatre, our Taking Action on Addiction Ambassador Matt Thomas saw the play and afterwards took part in a panel discussion with lead actor Denise Gough and writer Duncan McMillan. You can read more about Matt's experience here. Matt said that the play was “astonishing and wished that the whole world could see it”
Well, now the whole world can!
The National Theatre @Home will be streaming a performance of the play on Thursday 19th September at 9pm.
Tickets: £12.99 or £9.99 with subscription
